Description

Part memoir of the author's early life--including his experience as a New York City cop and a US Border Patrol agent before he became a college professor--and part polemical discussions of a host of diverse topics, from aging, religion, and war to teaching and higher learning, corporate capitalism and consumerism, technology and media, this book challenges the beliefs and behavior of the American way as it recounts the unusual, “out of whack,” life and mind of an iconoclastic “Un-American, All-American” baby-boomer.
